10 Formulas To Find Any Phone Number

(Address, name, email address, social profile, and more)

Full Contact – Free Research Tool

Quickly Find Social, Name, And More

If you have an email address, you can use Full Contact on your phone or through Gmail to discover more information.

I’ve tested this with our incoming leads and about 70% of our leads can get more information with this free app.

The cool thing about Full Contact is that it will crawl through your phone, mail account, and social accounts. It will then match up partial data and merge it all together. This means that you can find data for old contacts and new contacts.

They also have a feature that will crawl through various email signatures looking for additional contact information.

Here’s how I use it:

I take a partial email lead and plug it into Full Contact.

I then look at all the social media accounts attached to the email.
This gives me the first and last name. It also gives me 2-4 methods of contacting the person. I can send them:

Facebook Messages

LinkedIn messages

Tweets

Next, I crawl their LinkedIn profile looking for a phone number. Most people use LinkedIn as a resume, this means you can often find a cell phone number on this site.

Rapportive – LinkedIn Spying

View their profile without being blocked

LinkedIn is trying to make more money these days. And they’re blocking your searches…or not letting you see full profiles on their platform.

But with Rapportive, you can view anyones profile if you have their emails.

Here’s the thing:

There is this little known section called “Advice for contacting [NAME].” You can sometimes find a phone number or a better email address here:

Here’s the thing:

LinkedIn will hide their profile from you if you do a search for it on LinkedIn.

But, if you install Rapportive, you can click on the link in your Gmail. And see their profile directly.

Here’s how this hack works:
1) You put their email in gmail
2) You click their LinkedIn profile that comes up with Rapportive
3) You look in the “about me” and “summary” sections for a phone number

If you don’t find their phone number there, here’s the next place to look:

Facebook’s Phone Numbers

Find numbers of people without high privacy settings…

If you don’t find the phone number on LinkedIn, you can head over to Facebook.
Facebook displays phone numbers for about 30% of the profiles these days. People can hide theirs with their privacy settings.

At this point, I’ll send over a friend request. And check to see if their phone number is in their about section. Here’s what it will look like if it is there:

If this doesn’t work, you can always try this iMessage trick:

iMessage – Send texts with only their email address:

iMessage actually lets you text message some email addresses!

Almost everyone has an iPhone… Ok, that’s a bit of a stretch. But this works pretty consistently.

But, what if you don’t have an email address?

Most people who buy houses have a substantial job…and most employers have an email system they use when setting up company emails.

So, you can use this tool to figure out their email address at their company.

Simply, plugin their first name, last name, and company’s website into this spreadsheet.

Then, copy / paste the options into gmail and run your mouse over the options it generates.

Look at your Rapportive and see what email is the one linked to their LinkedIn account. This is a great way to find someones email from just their name. Or their address. Once you have the email address, follow options 1 through 4 to find their phone number!

Still No Phone Number?

Let’s do some more Facebooking…

Here’s a fun trick:

Most people have Facebook’s newest app called “Messager” installed on their phone. This, practically, acts as another text message service.

You can use their email address and Full Contact to find their Facebook profile. Or if you know their name, you can search for them directly on Facebook.

Then, you can friend them. And message them directly through Facebook. They’ll get notifications on their phone if you’re connected on Facebook. This works as well (if not better) than text messages for younger demographics.

Need that phone number still?

Here’s a paid solution that can uncover phone numbers and more…

Spokeo lets you research people for a fee. It’s fairly accurate and can get you information for individuals that you might not otherwise be able to reach.

Have you tried their company website?

Company websites typically have a lot of information.

You can find out where they work on LinkedIn. And then find the company’s website online.

This method works great for smaller, local companies. Or with big companies that have a complete employee list online. Typically, you can find a roster of people that work at the company. And some type of contact information.

If this doesn’t work, you can type their name into Google with quotes around it like this “Tyler Zey.” This can also pull up company rosters online.

The thing you’re looking for here is an email address. You can then use the first half of this guide to turn this email address into a full contact record.

Don’t forget about the MLS records and public records…

If you just have an address, you have two methods for finding more contact information.
